HGTV star seeks homes to promote in new book

Deadline July 15 in Epic Homes of the East Bay Contest

Local realtors America Foy and Remy Weinstein are inviting East Bay homeowners to shine a light on an area of California that often goes overlooked by submitting their unique and luxurious homes to the Epic Homes of the East Bay Contest.

Residents who submit are given the chance to receive a design consultation from HGTV star Cora Sue Anthony and be featured in her upcoming book: "Cora Sue Anthony's Epic Homes of the East Bay."

The contest is open to owner occupied one- to four-unit residential properties located within the East Bay. Submissions will be judged on the following criteria: size, location, view, yard, uniqueness, architecture, history, details, amenities, convenience, functionality, floor plan and curb appeal.
